Andrew K Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I would like a bit of help and wondered what peoples thoughts / ideas are! Ive bought a TT to use as my donor car for my N/A-TT conversion today i did a compression test on the TT engine and the readings where :- cylinder no.1 - 165 cylinder no.2 - 150 cylinder no.3 - 165 cylinder no.4 - 170 cylinder no.5 - 150 cylinder no.6 - 165 are these figures good / Average / bad? On cylinders 2 & 5 i put some oil down the spark plug hole and did the test again, they both came up with a reading of almost 180. does this mean it needs a strip down and the piston rings doing ? Just wondering on the above as ill also be fitting Twin KKK 450R Blitz Turbos! (was the kit from Tony Licences car ) so i`m not sure !! with the power gain ill be getting and if the engine will be ok to handle it!?!?
